Georgia to Louisiana Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Georgia to Louisiana
Atlanta to New Orleans is about 470 miles, down I-85 and I-65 through Montgomery and Mobile. Baton Rouge is around 520, and Shreveport is closer to 620 by way of I-20. It's one long day of driving.
Georgia and Louisiana are two of the busiest film production states in the country, so crews move back and forth between Atlanta and New Orleans all the time. We also ship for energy and petrochemical workers heading to Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, LSU and Tulane students, families moving home for Mardi Gras season, and airmen going to Barksdale AFB.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Georgia to Louisiana
New Orleans and Baton Rouge loads take I-85 to Montgomery, I-65 to Mobile, and I-10 across the Mississippi coast into New Orleans. Some trucks take I-59 from Birmingham through Hattiesburg instead. Lafayette and Lake Charles are farther west on I-10.
Shreveport and Bossier City are straight west on I-20 through Birmingham, Jackson, and Monroe. Coastal Georgia loads cross South Georgia to I-10 at Tallahassee.

Timing
When to Ship Georgia to Louisiana
Gulf weather and a few big events matter on this route.
Hurricane Season
June through November can affect New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Mardi Gras
Parade season fills New Orleans and closes streets. Plan deliveries around the biggest weekends.
LSU Football
Home games fill Baton Rouge in the fall. Weekday deliveries go smoother.
Winter & Spring
Usually the easiest time to ship along the Gulf.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Georgia to Louisiana?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
New Orleans is about 470 miles from Atlanta. Southwest Louisiana from coastal Georgia is closer to 800.
Short-Haul Pricing
Shorter trips cost more per mile than cross-country ones, since loading and unloading take the same time either way.
Delivery Area
The French Quarter and older New Orleans streets usually need a meeting spot.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps sun and road debris off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window helps during hurricane season and Mardi Gras.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Louisiana-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Louisiana
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the Louisiana OMV. Louisiana requires a brake tag inspection, and the Baton Rouge area also requires emissions testing. Check expresslane.org for current requirements.
Film Production Moves
Wrapping in Atlanta and starting a shoot in New Orleans? We'll time pickup and delivery around your schedule.
New Orleans Deliveries
Narrow streets, streetcar lines, and parade routes make door-to-door tricky. The driver will set up a nearby meeting spot.
Georgia Pickups
Busy metro Atlanta apartment complexes, gated subdivisions with HOA truck rules, and the narrow historic streets of downtown Savannah can keep a big carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-285, I-75, I-85, I-20, I-16, or I-95.

FAQ
Georgia to Louisiana Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Georgia to Louisiana?
Usually 1 to 3 days after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Georgia to Louisiana?
It depends on your exact pickup and delivery locations, vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, and the season. Request a free quote and you'll get a final price, good for 7 days.
Can you deliver in the French Quarter?
Usually to a nearby lot or wide street rather than your door. The Quarter's streets are too tight for a car carrier.
Does Louisiana require a vehicle inspection?
Yes. Louisiana requires a brake tag inspection, and the Baton Rouge area also requires emissions testing.
Is it cheaper to ship or drive from Georgia to Louisiana?
Driving 500 to 700 miles is a long day. If you're moving two cars or flying, shipping saves the trip.
Can you ship a car from Louisiana back to Georgia?
Yes. Request a quote with your Louisiana pickup address and your Georgia delivery address. Every shipment is door-to-door.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with must carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the car aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the balance to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
